So the ACC Western Region T20 cup kicked off yesterday in Oman with 8 teams competing and all of them in action yesterday, with 4 games scheduled in all. On Day 2 of the competition too, we’re going to have 4 games lined up so that the tournament ends in 5 days. In Match 6 of the competition, we have Iran taking on Saudi Arabia, both teams coming into this game with a loss respectively.
Iran played UAE and only managed 61/8 in their 20 overs and the UAE opener pounced onto this target, registering a 10-wicket victory. Saudi put up a better 1st innings score of 113 but they were mauled too, with Kuwait completing a 9-wicket victory in just the 11th over of the game.

Iran
The Iranian side will be led by Dad Khoda Dahani who batted way too down and only scored 3 while not even bowling in the first game, but I’m picking him only because I know he’ll play. While we don’t know much about this team, let’s pick all-rounders who have the best chance of winning us some fantasy points like Masood Jayezeh, who failed but opened the batting and was also the first change bowler.
Another good all-rounder pick is Naiem Bameri who was thrashed while bowling and only scored 6(23) with the bat vs UAE but he opened the bowling and batted 2-down, but he has a decent record, first having played for Iran a decade ago when he was just 16. On debut, Emran Shahbakhsh bagged a golden duck and there won’t be many fantasy takers for him, so I’m choosing him in my IRN vs SAU fantasy team.
Saudi Arabia
With the ball, Adil Butt is a good choice for your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team today especially since he was the only bowler to pick a wicket in the opening game against Kuwait, getting 1/14 in his 2 overs. Usman Ali is another good bowler, who was their most economical in that game, but he couldn’t manage to get a scalp or two.
While he doesn’t have great numbers with the bat in 6 T20Is so far, Abdul Wahid scored 18 and he makes a good pick because of his all-round contributions, though he was smashed for 17 in his only over against Kuwait. With the bat, Faisal Khan is one of their most experienced and his 26(11) in the last game shows that he’s aggressive which is perfect for this T20 format of the game.
